A series of unexpected events of the same type...

I waited about 3 weeks or so... Well ok i did not really wait, i just left it aside and moved on. What did i wait for? A phone call. A business call? hmm. just one that'll get me an interview @ Starbucks! I dont understand why i've always wanted to work at Starbucks, maybe because its one of the top 100 best places to work (according to website), its famous, heard its fun, friendly, for experience, or maybe just a flexible job for my bombastic summer classes timing. Anyway, i received a call last thurs and being stuck in a traffic jam never felt the same again... for that moment only. I was called up for interview at Starbucks Gardens! So I went to the outlet the following day. When i was there, there were 6 including myself who were interviewing as well. How did it go? Wonderful. I could roughly remember his compliments, "I like your personality, it is not something you can weigh and I like your enthusiasm too". So that was the side that boosted my confidence. The inescapable 'but' comes in. He added, "But to be honest with you, your timing REALLY SUCKS!", I agreed. He was referring to my summer class timetable. If you were to go to Starbucks and pick up a green brochure regarding job application, you would notice a working timetable behind for office use only. Lol when i told him my timing for the week, he took that timetable and filled in my class timing instead! "your timing really sucks", if you were applying for a job with a demanding manager, that short sentence could virtually crush all hopes or compliments. Nvm. So i would know whether im selected 2 days after or else sorry la, according to him. I really understood if I didnt get chosen as i mentioned before, which manager would want to hire someone and have to suit his schedule? But what i didnt and probably would never understand was the unexpected phone call this evening saying that im hired! I was freaking happy. Whatever he was thinking when he picked me, he definitely made the right choice. I wont let him down. I want to thank my grandma for her prayers for me as she knows that i really want this job. I have Shea to thank for her incredible lady luck, seriously its quite freaky especially if it happens twice in a row... Today Ee Von also mentioned that they called her for the job only after sometime, I find that a lil freaky too cuz i told her i didnt make it before that, but anyway thx!

Well ppl, visit me at Starbucks Gardens soon!
